CHOOSE YOUR

OWN COLOURS

ARPETS are not often found on the “do-it- yourself" list of even the most handy of householders. Making one's own carpets by hand takes too long and demands too much patience.

But those who like to make excursions into the unusual can now choose their own colour schemes with a minimum of effort for "made-to- ̈ colour" carpets. One of Britain's leading carpet manufacturers, John Crossley of Halifax, has devised a new colour wheel which enables the prospective customer to try out the most startling combinations of colour before ordering.

The wheel contains tufts ot who are content to take their the 37 colours available for use carpets frem stock, 1001 offers tr any quality or pattern of the a wide variety of Indeterminata: Arm's Dale range of carpets, designe containing many Tac tufts are set in five sliding colours which will tone With It was too grenity.
